Answer:

Answer: a5 = 2500

Step-by-step explanation:

For a geometric sequence:

First term = a0

Second term = a1 = a0*r

Third term = a2 = a0*r^2

Fourth term = a3 = a0*r^3

....

nth term = a(n-1) = a0*r^(n-1)

Given: a1 = 4 = a0*r

Also: r = 5

So, a0*5 = 4 => a0 = (4/5)

a5 = a(6-1) = Sixth term = a0*r^5 = (4/5)*5^5 = 2500

Hope this helps

correct me if im wrong☺

Find the radius of a circle having area 616cm square.

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf Radius \ of \ circle = 14 \ cm}$

Given:

Area of circle = 616 cm²

To Find:

Radius of circle

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf \implies Area \ of \ circle = \pi r^{2} \\ \\ \sf \implies 616 = \frac{22}{7} \times {r}^{2} \\ \\ \sf \implies 616 \times \frac{7}{22} = {r}^{2} \\ \\ \sf \implies 28 \times \cancel{22} \times \frac{7} { \cancel{22}} = {r}^{2} \\ \\ \sf \implies 28 \times 7 = {r}^{2} \\ \\ \sf \implies 196 = {r}^{2} \\ \\ \sf \implies {r}^{2} = 196 \\ \\ \sf \implies r = \sqrt{196} \\ \\ \sf \implies r = \sqrt{ {14}^{2} } \\ \\ \sf \implies r = 14 \: cm$
